WOBJECTIVE.
What will your students be able to do?
CONNECTION TO THE BIG GOAL.
How does the objective connect to the big goal?
SWBAT generate the long O sound when
shown the spelling patterns OA and OW.
SWBAT read words containing the spelling
patterns OA and OW.
(lesson .! in "y basal#
$y big goal in reading is %or students to gain ! years. &n order to do so'
they need to be able to read long vowel words. (We(ve already practiced
long A' long )' and long &. We(ve also already wor*ed on +O and O,)
as long O spelling patterns.# Since it(s the beginning o% the year' "y
basal series is doing so"e review o% %irst grade content + but they need it-
ASSESSMENT.
How will you *now whether your students have "ade progress toward the objective? How and when will you assess "astery?
Students will ta*e the end,o%,wee* test provided by "y basal series at the end o% their independent practice today. &t as*s
the" to read so"e long O words and circle the appropriate picture to go with each word' and then to read so"e longer
passages containing long O words and answer a %ew co"prehension .uestions.
KEY POINTS: TARGETED SOUND/SPELLING RELATIONSHIP(S) OR PATTERN(S).

What "e"ory aides will you use to help students re"e"ber the letter(s#/correspondence(s#/pattern(s#?
How will you visually represent the letter(s#/correspondence(s#/pattern(s#?
How will you ensure that students actively ta*e,in in%or"ation?
Which potential "isunderstandings will you anticipate?
